Jeb Bush supports abolishing Medicare

According to delusional white supremacists who inexplicably think their opinion matters, Jeb Bush is presidential material.

But according to normal people, Bush has no business being anywhere near a position of public trust. He just proved it again while speaking at an event sponsored by the far-right Americans for Prosperity. During this address, Bush declared America should "phase out" Medicare. MSNBC's Steve Benen said Bush's position of abolishing Medicare is extreme even among Republicans - since most GOP diehards have enough political sense not to publicly advocate abolishing it, even if they want it abolished.

But that may be changing. Look how extreme Republican candidates have to be now to win their party's primary - even if it destroys them in the general election. And if it isn't extreme policy positions, it's actual scandals. Jamie Comer's domestic violence scandal actually boosted him to within 83 votes of winning the primary!
